Question

【題目】 Meeting at a church on a Friday night is not usual for most college students,but it is usual for the women members of the Alcoholics Anonymous(AA)in my hometown, which is an organization for alcoholics who want to stop drinking alcohol.AA is founded upon a number of principles,including twelve steps and twelve traditions,but the only requirement for becoming a member is a strong wish to stop drinking.

The AA meeting I attended was in a speaker week,which meant that most of the time was spent listening to a member talking about her journey with alcohol.The speaker told other members her true story of alcohol problems.The group processed the story in a positive way.I noticed several times when members laughed,smiled,and made brief supporting comments while she spoke.Later,a member named Lucy shared with me her view that"this is the kind of place where you can talk about things,and everyone just laughs...no judgment but support."Being able to talk about her feelings and experiences,receiving support,and the lack of judgment were a large part of her decision to keep coming to the meetings.

Years later,I looked back on the meeting I attended with positive memories.The members at the meeting were mothers,sisters,grandmothers,aunts,daughters,and friends.Some were professionals, some were students,and some were unemployed. Despite their differences,they united in their common goal for a better life.AA is a prime example of how a group of people follow a program and work together at changing their habits.The meeting changed the way I looked at addiction-it was no longer a monster. Now I think it's essential to have support when you're struggling with addiction,just as with any lifestyle change.

【3】B

【解析】

本文為一篇記敘文。文章介紹了作者幾年前參加戒酒協(xié)會(huì)的經(jīng)歷。幾年之后作者意識(shí)到這些戒酒的人為了更好的生活和共同目標(biāo)而團(tuán)結(jié)在一起，獲得彼此的支持。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段AA is founded upon a number of principles,including twelve steps and twelve traditions,but the only requirement for becoming a member is a strong wish to stop drinking. AA建立在一系列原則的基礎(chǔ)上，包括十二個(gè)步驟和十二個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，但成為會(huì)員的唯一要求是強(qiáng)烈的戒酒愿望�？芍�，Alcoholics Anonymous的目的是幫助有強(qiáng)烈戒酒愿望的人戒酒。故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Being able to talk about her feelings and experiences, receiving support, and the lack of judgment were a large part of her decision to keep coming to the meetings. 能夠談?wù)撍�的感受和�?jīng)歷，得到支持，并且這里沒(méi)有別人對(duì)自己的看法，是她決定繼續(xù)參加會(huì)議的主要原因。因此判斷出，如果對(duì)露西的故事有不友好的看法可能傷害她的感情。故選A項(xiàng)。

【3】主旨大意題。結(jié)合全文且根據(jù)最后一段“Years later,I looked back on the meeting I attended with positive memories.”多年以后，我回想起我參加的那次會(huì)議，心里充滿了美好的回憶。所以文章記敘了作者參加戒酒協(xié)會(huì)的經(jīng)歷，在那里可以暢所欲言，獲得別人的支持。B項(xiàng)“My experience of an AA meeting.”我的AA協(xié)會(huì)經(jīng)歷。符合文章主旨。故選B項(xiàng)。
